They are the ones spewing the misinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/06\/22\/meghan-mccain-joy-behar-disrespectful-introducing-kyrsten-sinema-so-called-democrat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">McCain<\/a> said that the idea of another rapidly-spreading variant was very concerning to her, namely because she could not put a mask on her ten-month-old daughter to protect her, but that blaming Fox News for the problem would not solve anything.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not just Fox News, I think maybe I\u2019m not being clear,\u201d she said, noting that there were a number of unvaccinated people in areas that were not necessarily Republican-leaning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not just a Republican problem. I implore people on the left and right to stop making this political,\u201d McCain continued. \u201cHonestly I just as we talked about it and we talked about it at length the opioid overdoses saw the highest rise ever in United States \u2014 American history last month, over 100,000 people died of opioid overdoses. This country cannot withstand other lockdowns, there are a lot of different ways to die of COVID.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCain turned on her cohosts and the Biden administration then, adding, \u201cI implore the White House, I implore this show to be intellectually honest. Why are hospital workers not getting vaccinated? Why are Democrats? Why are citizens of the Bronx not getting vaccinated?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t understand why this has to be so much about Fox News. It\u2019s not.
